Onboarding Developers to a Codebase: Maps, Tasks, Standards, and Feedback

A practical two-hour session on Onboarding Developers to a Codebase, focused on Maps, Tasks, Standards, and Feedback. Attendees work through concrete engineering tradeoffs, review examples, and leave with a checklist they can apply in real team projects.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Onboarding Developers to a Codebase
• Apply Maps in a small working example
• Apply Tasks in a small working example
• Apply Standards in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
